The post appeared to reference recent right-wing conspiracy theories featuring the pop star Taylor Swift.

President Joe Biden had conspiracy theorists in a tizzy after posting what appeared to be his reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday night.

“Just like we drew it up,” Biden posted on X alongside a photo of “Dark Brandon,” the meme created by hardcore—and very online—supporters of Donald Trump that Biden and his team loved so much they adopted it as their own.

The post was apparently referencing far-right conspiracy theories which posit the NFL and high-level government operatives conspired to rig the Super Bowl in Kansas City’s favor to give maximum exposure to a yet-to-be-announced endorsement from Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

            being ad-hominemed isn’t a consequence of my actions

            if you don’t like being compared to Trump, stop doing things he does. But that’s not an ad hominem-- it’s a consequence of your actions.

            it’s a failing of my interlocutor to engage in good faith

            blaming others for your poor behavior is engaging in bad faith. accusing them of what you, yourself, are doing is projection and hypocritical.

            just like Trump

        It’s not “ham-fisted pigeonholing” when both you and he believe you know things without looking them up.

          what i’m saying is true or false regardless of anything trump has ever done. your attempt to associate me with him is the very definition of pigeonholing: you’re trying to discredit my claims by associating me with someone else. i think it’s worth further explicating that this is a form of ad hominem, which is expressly prohibited on lemmy.world and in this community

            Feel free to report me if you like. When you do something Trump does all the time, I’m going to compare you with him. If you don’t want to be compared with Trump, don’t do something he’s famous for.
